1 pound chicken breast, boneless and skinless

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
8 small corn tortillas

- In the same pan, reduce the heat to low and add the Buffalo sauce, stirring to warm it through.
- Return the chicken to the pan, tossing to coat the strips evenly in the sauce.
- Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 30 seconds per side.
